In General
- Access to and use of this Web site and the services available at this Web site are subject to the following terms and conditions as set forth in this notice. By accessing, using or subscribing your business to the Web site or downloading materials from the Web site, you agree to be legally bound by the terms and conditions set forth below without any modification. Please, review them carefully. If you do not agree to the terms, please do not use this Web site.
Business Listings
- My Local Services holds no responsibility to the accuracy of any free or paid listings.
- For Premium and National Listings, companies are entering into a 3, 6 or 12 month paid agreement with My Local Services, where My Local Services will display that business on it’s own database, which will be accessible by the general public.
- At the end of the agreement period, businesses will need to resubscribe to keep their business listed in the Premium format, and keep access to functionality provided for Premium and National Listings.
- Payment terms for Premium and National Listings are 7 days. If after a statement letter is sent, followed by a final demand letter, no payment is forthcoming, then the customer will be referred to a debt collection agency for subscription recovery. From this point communication involving monies will be handled by a third party on behalf of My Local Services.
- For Companies that have been given a 30 day free trial Premium Listing, they will not be invoiced or asked for monies unless they verbally agree to taking out an annual subscription with My Local Services. During the end of the 30 day trial, a salesperson will call inviting that company to an annual subscription. If the offer of an annual subscription is not deemed as value to the potential customer, then the trial listing will be reverted to a free basic listing at no cost, and the company that had the 30 day trial will owe nothing.
- A 30 day trial listing can be cancelled at any time by notifying by email to e-sales@mylocalservices.co.uk or by Telephone to 01564 794676 confirming cancellation. Again no monies will be owed.
- Responsibility for making contact during the 30 day trial lies with My Local Services and not the customer.
- My Local Services will ensure Premium Listings are more eye catching than free listings, and will give access to any extra functionality that is available. My Local Services cannot guarantee that the same extra functionality will be available in all regions, and content may vary dependant on area.
- My Local Services will ensure National Listings have the same functionality as Premium Listings, as well as being displayed throughout the UK for each chosen category.
- If for any reason a business no longer wishes to subscribe to the My Local Services Database, no part or full refund of any subscription fees will be given, except with management discretion.
- My Local Services reserves the right to remove any business, either free or Premium listing from the database at any time. Examples include Business no longer trading, complaints regarding obscene or illegal business practices. No part or full refund of any subscription fees will be given, except with management discretion.
Recommend another Business and receive an extra months advertising offer
- If you recommend My Local Services to another business, and they sign up as a paying customer, we will extend your Premium subscription by one month.
- There is no limit to the number of businesses you can recommend, and we will grant you one month extra to your subscription for every new business you recommend that signs up with us. We also have opportunities available for reselling our product at reduced rates to yourself, contact us for further information.
- My Local Services reserves the right to wait for payment from the new business before granting an extra month to the existing subscriber.
- The recommended business must not be in any way commercially associated with the existing subscriber. This includes businesses with multiple outlets, or owners of multiple businesses or enterprises.
- This offer is only available to paid up Premium and National Listing Subscribers. New subscribers still owing money to My Local Services will not be granted any extra months free advertising until their outstanding accounts have been settled.

- My Local Services is not responsible for the quality or content of any associated RSS news feeds or third party content displayed on any regional portals.
